Hello Bartolome,

The Paste in Amaya replace the current selection. So if you select an element and if you make Copy then Paste, the element is replaced by himself (you have the feeling that nothing happens).
If you want to create a second <hr /> in your case, use Edit > Append just before the Paste.

I guess that in this case the other elements are deleted, right ?

However, selecting just a <hr /> is not always easy in the formatted view and it's sometimes preferable to use the Structure view to do that.

Thanks,
